I remember when I had first heard that Patrick and Ted Courtney were going to turn 55 Main Street, Edgartown into a restaurant, The Port Hunter.  I felt like doing a back flip.  Something good was going to go into that awesome brick building.  Finally Into the Woods was actually gone after five years of “closing.” Lo...

Think things are slowing down on this little island now that Labor Day has passed?  Hardly, get ready for four days filled with film and fun, Thursday, September 6th – Sunday, September 9th with the 7th Annual Martha’s Vineyard International Film Festival (MVIFF).  Think of this as our own little Sundance, but in an even ...

With Summer winding down, there are thoughts of up-Island adventures running through my mind. With that is the desire to have some more memorable times with friends and family  before the warm weather slips away. Always on the lookout for something new, I recently stumbled upon Beach Plum Bites at the The Beach Plum Restaurant...

Can we really take control of our own energy on Martha’s Vineyard?  The answer is yes, according to Vineyard Power, the Island’s energy co-operative.  It’s their mission to be our utility company, producing electricity from local, renewable resources, while advocating for and keeping the benefits within our community...

With the nights a little cooler and the wait for restaurants a little shorter, it’s time to go out and spend some time with friends.  I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to do is to grab sushi at the Lookout. For years, that has been a favorite spot of mine during the Summer and Fall months.  And while I...

    Last week when I was desparately trying to find a parking spot so I could make Point B’s weekly meeting, something interesting caught my eye — even more interesting than the family walking around in matching yellow Crocs (yuck). There was a cute little red sign tucked in the corner of the back of the building th...

So, I’ve been to Hooked for its opening party.  I have gone there for drinks with friends and loved it, but was yet to have dinner there.  That’s kind of sad, especially for me, since it’s been open since May, and I’ve been hearing great things about it. With my husband’s family in town for vacation, there are a total of ...

When I had heard that Ben deForest was taking over the kitchen at Ken’N’ Beck, I had mixed feelings.  The Vineyard’s own “bad boy” chef coming back to Oak Bluffs.  What was he going to do with that small, quirky little restaurant? Naturally, curiosity got the best of me, and I reached out to Ben, asking if I could stop by...

As the Summer continues, it amazes me that there are still more new places to discover on Martha’s Vineyard.  I am a down-Island girl, but every now and then I like to head up-Island and experience other things this mgical Island has to offer.  So, it was off to Menemsha where I always feel like I’m on vacation to see wha...

When I first heard that a new restaurant was going in where the old David Ryan’s was, I have to admit that I was pretty excited.  Taking up such a large piece of real estate on North Water Street, whatever it was would have quite an impact. Construction began and rumors swirled around the Island.  Some said it was going t...
